976.05 Annotation
The uniform detainer act, s. 976.05 is unconstitutional in: 1) failing to require that the prisoner be notified of his rights; 2) denying him equal protection similar to that afforded prisoners under the criminal extradition act; and 3) not requiring a judicial hearing. The use of a hearing similar to that required under the extradition act would cure the defects. State ex rel. Garner v. Gray,
55 Wis. 2d 574,
201 N.W.2d 163 (1972).
976.05 Annotation
The question of whether another state, which has filed a detainer, has failed to grant the prisoner a speedy trial after demand must be decided by the demanding state. The appropriate officer to file a detainer under Art. IV (a) is the prosecuting officer of the county of the foreign state where the charges exist. State ex rel. Garner v. Gray,
59 Wis. 2d 323,
208 N.W.2d 161 (1973).
976.05 Annotation
Res judicata should not be applied to bar multiple detainer requests if prior requests were dismissed because of the inadequacy or insufficiency of the requesting documents. In Matter of Custody of Aiello,

A waiver of the time limits under this section may be made by conduct and does not require an express personal waiver. State v. Aukes,

The 180-day time limit in sub. (3) does not apply if the detainee has been convicted but not sentenced prior to being returned from a party state. State v. Grzelak,

573 N.W.2d 538 (Ct. App. 1997),

976.05 Annotation
A writ of habeas corpus prosequendum does not constitute a detainer subject to the requirements of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers, s. 976.05. State v. Eesley,

591 N.W.2d 846 (1999),
97-1839.
976.05 Annotation
The “anti-shuffling" provision under sub. (4) (e) may be waived if the prisoner requests a procedure that is inconsistent with the statute. It is not necessary to knowingly and intentionally relinquish the rights under sub. (4) (e); even if the prisoner is unaware of these rights, they may be waived by a request for contrary treatment. State v. Nonahal,
2001 WI App 39,
241 Wis. 2d 397,
626 N.W.2d 1,
00-0603.
976.05 Annotation
The defendant waived his right to a speedy trial by his conduct, discharging his attorney six days before the scheduled trial and agreeing to a trial date outside of the 180-day limit. Having asked for, and accepted, treatment inconsistent with his rights under this section, the defendant cannot then assert those rights in an effort to win a dismissal of charges. State v. Miller,
2003 WI App 74,
261 Wis. 2d 866,
661 N.W.2d 466,

976.05 Annotation
The apparent failure of Illinois prison authorities to comply with the IAD by failing to notify the defendant of Wisconsin charges does not warrant dismissal of the Wisconsin charge. State v. Townsend,

295 Wis. 2d 844,
722 N.W. 2d 753,

976.05 Annotation
This section applies to detainers lodged against prisoners that are based on untried indictments, informations, or complaints. There is nothing that indicates that the rights accorded to prisoners under it attach when there are no untried charges outstanding. Status as a parolee does not keep a former prisoner within this statute. Pharm v. Bartow,
2007 WI 13,
298 Wis. 2d 702,
727 N.W. 2d 1,
04-0583.
976.05 Annotation
A prisoner has the following rights after he or she files a request for disposition under sub. (3): 1) transportation to a receiving state to answer pending charges; 2) commencement of a trial within 180 days in the receiving state; 3) return to the sending state to complete the prisoner's term of incarceration; and 4) upon completion of the prisoner's term of incarceration in the sending state, return to the receiving state to serve any term of incarceration that has been imposed there. Pharm v. Bartow,
2007 WI 13,
298 Wis. 2d 702,
727 N.W. 2d 1,
04-0583.
976.05 Annotation
Once a prisoner has properly requested a prompt and final disposition of pending criminal charges, the only way the state could avoid its obligation to bring the prisoner to trial within 180 days of the request under sub. (3) was to dismiss the untried complaint or information. Because the state only modified the arrest warrant to rule out nationwide extradition and did not withdraw the detainer and dismiss the criminal complaint, the source for the prisoner's request for a speedy trial was still in existence. State v. Tarrant,
2009 WI App 121,
321 Wis. 2d 69,
772 N.W.2d 750,
08-1736.
976.05 Annotation
A detainer is a notification filed with the institution in which a prisoner is serving a sentence, advising that the prisoner is wanted to face pending criminal charges in another jurisdiction. How a prison first learns of a warrant or pending charges has no bearing on whether a detainer has been lodged. What matters is whether a notification satisfying the definition of a detainer is filed. Here, the sheriff's department confirmed for the prison the existence of a nationwide arrest warrant and pending charges, and then faxed copies directly to the prison, which constituted a detainer. State v. Onheiber,
2009 WI App 180,
322 Wis. 2d 708,
777 N.W.2d 682,

976.05 Annotation
When the defendant presented no evidence demonstrating that a 3rd party who signed a receipt for defendant's request for a speedy trial was an agent for the prosecuting officer in this case, the date on which the defendant “caused to be delivered to the prosecuting officer" his request for a speedy trial under sub. (3) (a) was the date on which the parties agreed that the request was delivered to the district attorney's office. State v. Thomas,

A writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum issued by a federal court directing state authorities to produce a state prisoner for a federal criminal trial is not a detainer under this section. United States v. Mauro,

Agreement on detainers; additional procedure. Following receipt of the officer's written request as provided in
s. 976.05 (4) (a), the prisoner shall forthwith be taken before a judge of a court of record of this state, who shall inform the prisoner of the request for temporary custody or availability, the crime with which charged and that the prisoner has the right to petition the governor to deny the request, to contest the request and to demand and procure legal counsel. If the prisoner or the prisoner's counsel shall state that the prisoner or the prisoner and counsel desire to test the legality of granting temporary custody or availability, the judge shall set a date for hearing which shall be not later than the expiration of the 30-day period established by
s. 976.05 (4) (a). If a hearing is set, notice of the hearing shall be given to the appropriate officer of the state requesting temporary custody or availability and to the authorities having custody of the prisoner in this state. The scope of any hearing or ruling under this section shall be confined to the request for temporary custody or availability, and to the identification of the person sought by the requesting state, but shall not encompass the guilt or innocence of the prisoner as to the crime charged by the requesting state.
